Delaire played 21 snaps yesterday

I actually did see him on about 5 plays trying extremely hard to get 5 yards away from the QB and faceplant. But I will say their offensive line is completely stacked. Up there with Dallas and Tennessee as the clear top 3 lines in the league. Doubt Addison would've made much of a difference. Better than Delaire of course but the pass rush wasn't going to get there much against Oakland. CJ played well and beat their worst lineman a couple of times to get to the QB but other than that they just dominated, as they have all year.

To be fair, that's a top 5 oline Oakland has there.

To be fair, they are a top 5 team and we went toe to toe despite major injuries at key positions and a makeshift o line. I know everyone is down on the team, staff and FO, but it isn't as bad as it seems. Expectations fugged with everyone's head and this organization has never been capable of living up to them.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
